Purpose: To determine whether Tonopen intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by Ophthalmic technicians are interchangeable with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) by a specialist in our glaucoma clinic.

Methods: Ophthalmic technician Tonopen and glaucoma specialist GAT IOP measurements were performed on both undilated eyes of 300 consecutive patients during the same visit to our glaucoma clinic.

Results: Among all 600 eyes of 300 patients (age 65.

Precis: This study is the first to report micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) use in only good vision patients. MP-TSCPC significantly reduced intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medication use without any significant reduction in visual acuity at every postoperative follow-up point.

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of MP-TSCPC in eyes with baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of ≥20/60.
